Orion the Hunter over the temperament island
Copyright: Petr Horálek
Wild storm over equatorial Halmahera island of Indonesia was producing beautiful flashes and the starry sky above was completely clear. This is the view when Orion the hunter was slowly "diving" in the storm. Notice how dark is the sky above the storm. Halmahera is definitely great place for night sky photography and it's such a great place full of peaceful and generous people.

M51 whirlpool galaxy (Remote control from China - Teamviewer)

This photo of the M51 have been done during my trip to China, during almost one month I could get enough photons to capture this amazing couple of galaxies.

Since I have my own observatory with a remote control I have more time and chances to make astrophotografy from my home located at 200 km, but this time I have tried to do it from China by Teamviewer, this is it been a new challenge for me. when I went to bed, leaving the computer on without physical presence and this is the final result. Hope you liked it.

This photo wouldn't be possible to make it without the help of my good friend Miguel Borrella that some nights he enter to my computer to check if everything goes well, he also lives at 500 Km from my observatory, but during my trip, he was more near than me in case there was something strange happened like the unexpected closing the roof, but it seems the job is well done and the Talon6 is running perfectly.

This is more than half-night panorama (almost 270 degrees) of the zodiacal light from the Gegenschein to morning column called "false dawn", captured over the ESO's La Silla Observatory. The zodiacal light is enhanced by several mathematical methods a it shows that it's definitely not a boring or even annoying object in the sky. It has many particular structures, which are just waiting to be revealed soon or later as the evolution of digital photography is so fast every day. Much more info, including the technical ones, you can read on my website: http://www.astronom.cz/horalek/?p=2351

That's really cool that you've uncovered a secret structure there, Petr. No doubt many subtleties could be revealed if only we could turn off the Milky Way for a moment.
